Every year, as January approaches, something special begins to fill the air in Curaçao. You can feel it in the streets, hear it in the music, and see it in the excitement of people counting down the days. Yes — Festival di Tumba 2026 is almost here, and this year promises to be something truly unforgettable.

📅 Save the Dates: January 26, 27, 28 & 30

This year’s festival will take place on four incredible nights

Each night brings its own unique energy. From the opening performances to the grand finale, Festival di Tumba always delivers moments you’ll talk about for months — maybe years.

🎶 Why Tumba Hits Different

Tumba isn’t just a genre of music; it’s a heartbeat.
It’s a reflection of our history, our joy, our struggles, and our identity as a people.

During the festival, composers, singers, musicians, and orchestras pour their souls into the stage, competing for the honor of becoming the Rei or Reina di Tumba. That title isn’t just a trophy — it’s a legacy.

Festival di Tumba is where new stars rise, seasoned performers shine, and the audience becomes part of the story.
